TWW Is Backed Up on Phone Calls and Emails — 36 Comments

  1. You guys need to turn off your phones and computers and take a break! 🙂 You both are in my thoughts and prayers. I would hate to see ya’ll crash and burn. Self-care is not a bad thing. I, for one, am grateful for your blog and am thankful for all the love you show to your readers. I hope you will let us know how we can give back and keep you from being overwhelmed! All my love and gratitude. Ann

  2. Nothing like being thrown into a full-time volunteer job that you didn’t request! Prayers for peace and rest. You ladies are doing so much good.

  3. Thank you for all you do. I am one who recently sent an email, probably to Dee’s email address. So thankful to have found this site. Will be praying for you ladies!

  5. Take care of yourselves, Dee and Deb! (And the Man Behind the Curtain!)

    Thankful for all that you do.

  6. This ministry is much appreciated. Thank you all for your commitment, dedication, and compassion for those who are abused and/or marginalized.

  11. I second the “take care of yourselves” theme. If you burn out, then you won’t be around to minister to anyone! Also, cheetos might be good – or chocolate.

  12. Prescription for Deebs: Gourmet butter crackers, a nice brie, chilled grapes, kalamata or garlic stuffed Spanish olives, a nice red wine – not too sweet, not too dry (or perhaps a raspberry mead), eat, sip, breath, relax. Follow up with a nice dark chocolate with a hint of lavender and blueberries. Repeat as necessary until stress levels are diminished.

    Amen to that!

  14. Hang in there, girlfriends. God’s got this. So glad you are here for those who need help.

  15. Enjoy every precious moment with your families!! And consider this a sign of success…you two moms are helping to raise up a generation of thinkers.

    My thoughts exactly as well. Thank You Deebs!

  18. you both are awesome human beings. full of conviction, action, compassion, intelligence. not afraid or too proud to get your hands very dirty, and very willing to do so. at your own expense. caring more about people and what is just and right than protecting what’s yours.

    i’m getting a little sick and tired of “brave and courageous” being misapplied to groups who all along & even now are merely protecting & promoting themselves. DEEBS are the brave and courageous ones. Surely Boadicea is in your bloodline.

  21. @ elastigirl:

    Preach it Sistah! I hope the DEEBS can inspire even more Monstrous Regiments of Women who will go to bat for the weak and the lowly instead of letting them be meat for the strong to eat. Loved the reference to Boadicea! Jael comes to mind too.

  28. You can disregard my email for the time being but please keep me in your prayers as the incident that happened to us at our church is being investigated by the police. God bless you and I hope you get caught up.

    Thank you for that Dee. Please pray however that it won’t be neccessary. The Archbishop is attempting to intervene but the situation is poisonous. An evil member of my parish has now twice called the police with false accusations against me and my heart is broken. I had been scheduled to go to the seminary to begin training to be a priest, with a view of being the rector of this parish, and I don’t see how that can happen now. I just am completely depressed.

    We’ll know for sure what the outcome is by Tuesday night, because the lynchpin is whether or not this gets resolved by the Feast of the Transfiguration. Please pray that it is favorably resolved, so that it doesn’t have to get written up here, or that if it is written up here, its written up in the form of a success story about how a church with an episcopal hierarchy successfully dealt with an abusive board member at a local parish, as opposed to the usual story of alienation and misery.

    I want to be a priest in the Orthodox church so bad that it hurts. This incident, which had nothing to do with my potentially becoming a priest, because the perpetrator was unaware of my ambitions in that respect, but which occurred as a seemingly random act of abuse directed at my mother, has potentially delayed my ordination for years.

    Now that would be a S-W-E-E-T career! 'Dr. Chock'
